I don't see why Doublade should be ranked. Despite being a good pokemon, it is 99% outclassed by its evolution, Aegislash which can use special attack, has better special defense and a unique move in King's Shield. It also does not fear Knock Off like Doublade, which relies on Eviolite to tank hits.

Volcanion is a good pokemon, I will rank it for sure. It is special attacker though, so it should only be using special attacks. Flamethrower/Fire Blast, Steam Eruption, Sludge Bomb and a filler is the best set. It has high special attack and overall defenses. Having immunity to water type attacks is a huge benefit too. However, low speed and being weak to ground type is problematic since Earthquake is one of the most common move and is usually used by faster and powerful pokemon, which offsets its good bulk. (Around B+)

It is extremely weird because Thunder from Zapdos will always OHKO Xatu based on calculations. (Unless Zapdos has no investment and Xatu has a lot of investment in SpDef, it will be 2HKO at least. Is that in Colosseum or Adventure mode?
